*** Did either of the front page columns of The Docket chap your hide?! A clarification…The Docket received a spirited response to both the liberal and conservative presidential columns, featured on the front pages of both the September and October issues. E-mails, phone calls and taps on the shoulder indicated that some members took offense to the DBA running political articles at all. To be clear, in no way, shape or form were the articles an endorsement of presidential candidates by the Denver Bar Association. The DBA has not and does not take such positions in any political race. The Docket will continue to encourage members to submit a variety of columns on diverse current topics and certainly will entertain articles of differing views. Thanks for reading!
